Similar to RVW's "Lark", but very beautiful and striking in its own right. More of a Poem than a Concerto. I love the harmony in this . The violinist plays it very tenderly.

Marvelous!

Compositrice que j’ai découverte en septembre lors du festival de ma ville qui avait programmé sa 2ieme symphonie! Je n’en avais jamais entendu parler jusque là ! Elle est née en 1910, élève de Paul Dukas, pianiste, compositrice (prix de Rome à 19 ans en 1929), professeur au conservatoire de Paris, inspectrice des théâtres lyriques pour le ministère de la culture, journaliste, résistante pendant la guerre.... une vie extrêmement intéressante! Décédée en 1999 dans l’indifférence, quel dommage, elle mérite beaucoup mieux que l’anonymat!

In the years around 1944, this composer (and pianist) lived in Trondheim, more specifically in the apartment of his mother, widow Magnhild Ofstad (1882-1966) in Vilhelm Storms gate 4, 3rd floor. There was a housing shortage in Trondheim at the time, and Mrs. Ofstad let my grandparents (Ingolf and Alfhild Samdal) and their newborn daughter (my mother) rent a room that she could spare. My mother and her parents moved out of the small room in 1948, because Kolbjørn Ofstad practiced a lot on the piano. The music disturbed my mother's father, who was a professional driver and needed sleep. But my mother thrived in the widow's apartment. She enjoyed helping Mrs. Ofstad's maid, whose name was Emma. Children rarely complain about overcrowding.

Just letting you know that anything you uploaded at 240 cannot be grabbed by anyone. A real shame.

no one knows this song. it's great.

Actually Lee Hoiby's orchestration. Harkness was his patron and student. She is responsible for some excessive percussion here and there which he was unable to prevent.

This is a mighty work that deserves to be heard more often.

What an hidden gem. Thank you

A beauty

Opmerkelijk mooi

What a Finale !!!!

Thank you for this record!

Ahaha, russia 😂😂😂 He didn't born in russia.

Totally comprehensible and enjoyable.

What is the reference about the composer being a racist? What has this to do with him music?

This is a heart felt musical tribute.

I want to re-listen to this again and again. What a phenomenal concerto. So many breathtaking moments of pure exhilaration. And what a reference to Liszt Transcendental 10 at 17:09!

Toni Mineo, who wrote this piece when she was 16, passed today September 3, 2024. She was a magnificent lady. I will miss her. ❤️

Fabulous music and wonderful to listen to. Add this to my favorites list!

A wonderful symphony and also a performance, subtle soulful ones, convey Bulgarian melodicism, and why are these composers so rarely performed in Bulgaria: Pancho Vladigerov, Stoyanov Nenov - are they UNIQUE in their own way?

Прекрасная симфония и также исполнение,тонкие душевные, передают болгарский мелодизм, а почему в Болгарии так редко исполняютсч эти композиторы: Панчо Владигеров, Стоянов Ненов,- они по своему УНИКАЛЬ НЫЕ!

This symphony nr. 2 is in my opinion Crestons finest & best symphony. It is in many ways very original, and yet has an influences from Debussy & the french school of composers, but it still has this very Crestonian language & lyricism. Always loved this composer, one of americas finest through the times.

Two breaks for ads. Thumbs down baby! But enjoy the 1/2 of a penny you earned on me. The rest of your selections will receive a not interested from me.

Superbe découverte, quelle beauté, quelle sonorité 🎹🎵🎶

This is a great composition. I would like to see it re-recorded with modern electronics and a great symphony. This recording does not do justice for the composer. I can hear the great ingredients in the composition, but since it was recorded with vacuum tubes in mono vice stereo in the 1950's it does not have the spectral dynamics of a new recording in present day technology.

I would say some of the music would be great for a movie soundtrack. Since I've published 5 screenplays and have 4 more ready to go, when I start negotiations with the studio, I will mention this because some of my screenplays are Spy thrillers. I can hear intrigue in this symphony.

Just.... MAGNIFICENT !!

Kabalevsky-esque

It's disgraceful that this symphony, along with No. 1, has not yet received a modern, commercial recording!!!! Why doesn't the BBC SO do something about it!?

❤❤❤❤❤ Wow How Music Is My Way Back in The 40,s From 2024 So Soothing To The Soul Reminds Me of Old Black & White Movies On the Floor Magnovox T.V. And Cartoon,s & The Wizard Of Oz ,,,2024 Still Fantastic James Johnson Was A Genuis . Wow Black History is Really Great!

Qué lástima que Udaeta no entendió bien el tempo de la "Danza de la seducción", que lleva con una extraordinaria lentitud, a pesar de que el propio compositor indica la negra a 144. Lo demas esta muy bien. Me gustaría conocer los motivos por los q cambió el metronomo de una forma tan grande

The presto seems to me to be calling for one of the fiendishly imaginative young Polish animators, maybe one of the stop-motion claymation types, to visualize anything, everything concealed in this maniacal little sound-form. It's all you can do to hear without seeing this music. Brilliant!

Wonderful! Glitters like a freshly split crystal of flawless quartz in the sun. Thank you so much for introducing such a big and brilliant new experience for the mind. I'll be looking for more of this composer and I hope you will provide more.

His best piece is probably the Violin Concerto, which when I first heard it, thought it very similar to Walton’s.
